Early-1900s homes near Frankfort Avenue and the Reservoir — thorough inspections with a builder’s eye for older construction.
Crescent Hill is one of Louisville’s most charming east-end neighborhoods, centered on the shops and restaurants of Frankfort Avenue and the historic Crescent Hill Reservoir, whose walking path and Gatehouse are local landmarks. Its streets are lined with homes built mostly in the late 1800s and early 1900s — Victorians, foursquares, bungalows, and cottages shaded by mature trees. ProChek Home Inspections serves Crescent Hill buyers and sellers from our Louisville office.
Older homes like these call for an inspector who understands how they were built. Aging electrical systems, older plumbing, settling foundations, chimneys, damp basements, and decades of remodeling are all common concerns. Owner Darryl Willoughby spent more than 12 years as a custom home builder before becoming a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member, and he has 20 years of inspection experience. He takes the time to look closely and explain what he finds in plain language.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, an annual maintenance inspection, or radon testing, ProChek delivers a thorough inspection, a plain-language walk-through, and a detailed digital report with photos you can access anytime. Darryl’s wife Dee-Dee runs the office and scheduling, and we’re open 7 days a week — call 502-802-6336 to schedule your Crescent Hill inspection.
